16 and Pregnant (Season 2) | Ep. 5 | Lori and the Adoption Option

16 and Pregnant (Season 2) Ep. 5 Lori: "Lori's parents want her to choose adoption, Lori has an unreliable ex-boyfriend, so she eventually realizes it may be the only option."

In season 2 episode 5 Lori finds herself experiencing an unexpected pregnancy. Her boyfriend and her are no longer together and cannot have a conversation without arguing. Her ex-boyfriend tags her along with empty promises and lies, leading her to believe that he is going to step up and support her and the baby.

Lori’s parents are emotionally torn about her unplanned pregnancy; the fact that the birth father is not responsible, and knowing their daughters unstable emotional state on a “normal day” when she is not experiencing a pregnancy; they state their belief that Lori should place the baby for adoption after looking at all of the facts. Lori’s parents are consistently showing tough love to her, and she does not like the straight forward honest truth.

Lori decides that adoption is her only real option after all other hopes to raise the baby herself with her ex-boyfriend’s support fall through. Lori stated that the pregnancy is the hardest thing that she has ever gone through and she wished that she had taken the pregnancy seriously much sooner.

Lori and her ex-boyfriend come to the agreement that they will explore the adoption option so Lori asks a family friend about her independent adoption. The friend shares about her experience and Lori decides that she does want to place the child for adoption with the same family that her fried placed her child with. Eventually the independent adoptive family changes their mind and states they are not ready to adopt again. This failed independent adoption leaves a bad impression about adoption with Lori and her ex-boyfriend.

Lori decided to go forward with her adoption plan but this time using the security of an adoption agency. With the protection of the adoption agency Lori was able to choose an adoptive family that would not back out on her and that would be held accountable to follow through with their openness agreement.

The ex-boyfriend finally faces the reality that he truthfully cannot parent the baby and tells Lori that he is onboard with the adoption option.

Lori made an adoption plan with an adoption agency, she cared for the baby in the hospital like she planned to do, & she and the adoptive family took part in an adoption placement ceremony as planned.
